This is F22 with Kde-plasma5
After yesterday update, each hour a popup ask me to insert root password: Authentication is required to refresh the system sources
Ok, now I would uninstall polkit and updates plugin notifier. My question is: can I freely remove polkit w/out any side effect? I haven't Gnome, so I think so, but I prefer ask you to be sure
can/should I remove all of these?
# rpm -qa | grep polkit polkit-qt-0.112.0-3.fc22.x86_64 polkit-qt5-1-0.112.0-3.fc22.x86_64 polkit-kde-5.3.2-1.fc22.x86_64 polkit-0.113-4.fc22.x86_64 polkit-pkla-compat-0.1-5.fc22.x86_64 polkit-libs-0.113-4.fc22.x86_64
Many thnx

Well, all I can say is that I am running KDE-Plasma5 and have those versions of polkit installed on my system and I don't get any popups like you are getting.
Where does the popup originate? On the systray or elsewhere?

I've never seen that...
But the next time it happens, while the dialog is being displayed, maybe doing a ps and grepping on the PID as shown will give some info on the processes that are creating the message?
As an example from the image....
ps -eaf | grep 12138

w/out waiting next time, here it is:

I should investigate on packagekit and gather infos but I'm too busy at the moment I will inser root pwd every hour I have removed "Sofware update" from panel w/out any change it still popup
ps ax | grep "12138|1331" 1331 ? Ssl 17:19 /usr/libexec/packagekitd 12138 ? Rl 388:41 /usr/bin/plasmashell --shut-up
